Teddy Weng

Teddy T. Weng serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation through contract award and administration. Within the agency’s procurement mission, Weng ensures compliance with FAR regulations while advancing mission-critical technology and analytical capabilities. He routinely handles complex procurements involving scientific instrumentation, information technology services, and specialized laboratory equipment, often coordinating with technical stakeholders to define performance-based requirements and evaluate vendor proposals under sealed bid and negotiated procedures. Weng maintains a collaborative working relationship with a diverse pool of vendors, particularly those capable of delivering high-precision analytical instruments and custom software solutions. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with small businesses and mid-tier suppliers possessing niche technical expertise in laboratory automation and data acquisition systems. His procurement approach emphasizes transparency, competitive sourcing, and timely contract performance oversight to support mission readiness. A strong advocate for small business participation, Weng prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over 53% of his acquisitions reserved exclusively for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand market access for qualified small firms and foster innovation through socioeconomic contracting. His pattern of set-aside usage aligns with broader agency goals to enhance diversity in the supplier base and promote equitable economic opportunity. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 334516—Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing—accounting for 75% of his activity, indicating deep expertise in procuring spectrometers, chromatographs, and other precision lab equipment. He also frequently acquires custom computer programming services (NAICS 541511) and specialized IT support (NAICS 517919 and 811219), demonstrating proficiency in integrating hardware, software, and data systems to meet scientific and operational needs. Weng’s work bridges technical procurement with mission-driven outcomes in analytical and laboratory environments.
